Meet the Blacks Audience Reviews

Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever
UnowPriceless hyped garbage
Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
defica These reviews are very polarized, I guess it has a specific type of humor that is not for everyone. Better check yourself before you wreck yourself!
Willie Tucker When I first saw the preview for this movie I was like, YES, Mike Epps, that dude is hella funny. The movie starts off with funny parts and I'm thinking that it would get better, it doesn't. I like parody movies, who doesn't? But this horrible excuse for a parody is just bad. It tries to hard to be something it isn't and there were maybe only 4 funny parts. My advice, watch it. I wasted an hour and a half of my life and you should to, it's only fair. If it weren't for the cameos, I might have turned the movie off sooner. I feel like the only reason why I continued to watch it was to see when it would get funnier and it never did.
Johnny Banderas Man this movie was funny as hell. Anyone that says it isn't is probably a trump supporter. I enjoyed it. It was great to see the cameos that they put in there. If you watch black comedies or any black movies, you would know all the people in it. 34 years old, I could tell who everyone was, even the brother at the end with the glasses. It was a good fun movie. Wasn't demeaning towards white at all. If anything they make fun of black people more than anyone. I think it is what this country needs, just a good laugh, without everyone trying to oppress one another. I hope they make a 2nd one, and I'll watch that one too. its definitely not a 2.3 or whatever its listed as here. there is a distinct pattern with black movies or TV shows. Its almost as if an organization is purposely ranking them so low, while Meet the Fockers enjoys a 9 haha. Its stupid. But that's to be expected. Anyway, check it out. Ad if you don't want to, oh well who cares? not me.
subxerogravity So Meet the blacks is a parody of film, the Purge. Most of the comedy that I'm seeing comes from the fact that they are giving the same message as the Purge only being a lot more up front about it. The Blacks stumbled upon some money and moved from the ghettos of Chi-Town to a luxurious space in Beverly Hills, where they thought they made it to a social status that made them immune form the annual purge, but of course when it begins, guess who all the purgers on the block come after. In all fairness, the neighborhood's dislike of the new family lowering their property value is the least of the Blacks' worries. It's works as a look on social commentary the same way the Purge did. It also works better if you think of it as a series of sketches on a comedy show. Not every sketch is good but I got some laughs from George Lopez who played president La Bama ( a Mexican parody of President Obama). The great Charlie Murphy who plays the gangster the blacks stole money from to movie to Beverly Hills, and Mike Tyson who does not need to try hard to be funny. Also like to give a shout out to the the gorgeous Latina they got to play Step-MILF Mrs. Black. From the moment she came on the screen her only job was to be eye candy and she did the job well and excelled. I'm taking the movie for what it is. It's not Scary movie it's Scary movie 5 (which also features Iron Mike). It's not going to win any awards or gain an critical acclaim, but it made me laugh. Job well done.
